New LGA1150 CPU that doesn't bottleneck my desktop
I have a new desktop that I finished building last Friday, and it works like a charm. I followed my advice from another thread to get an Intel Pentium g3258, but I bought an MSI Z97M-G43 mobo, a GeForce GT 740, and 8GB Kingston HyperX 1866MHz DDR3. It may become obvious to someone technically inclined that this is not right, and that the g3258 would cause a bottleneck.
I can confirm that, because the CPU often causes freezes for a few seconds, without causing any of the other parts to break a sweat.
I started to overclock it to 4.0GHz last night, but overclocking scares me and the computer still freezes..
Since I already have the computer and nothing is limiting my or budget (my budget increases with time, because of my job, of course) what would you guys recommend would be able to match my motherboard and graphics card?
Its primary purpose is game development / gaming, and its secondary purpose is heavy internet browsing / media.
Again, the specs:
Intel Pentium g3258
MSI Z97M-G43
NVIDIA + EVGA GeForce GT 740
8GB 1866MHz DDR3 RAM
Thanks in advance!
Doesn't seem like a bottleneck, more of a glitch. Software bugs? Running the latest drivers?
